Coord Post: Royal Library at the Baltimore Museum of Art

Yesterday was my birthday, and my local lolita comm, Charm City Lolitas happened to have a meet at the Baltimore Museum of Art, which was awesome. And, as I haven’t any of those awesome JetJ painting dresses, I thought Innocent World’s Royal Library was the next best thing.

Photos are by the wonderful Casie Smith of Riot Grrl Photography who took some really lovely photos. I’ve cropped them both to remove other people / bystanders because I didn’t want to post someone else without their permission.

What is Lolita Fashion?

Lolita Fashion is a street fashion / subculture that originated in Japan in the 1990s. The style draws inspiration from Victorian and Rococo fashion and remixes it with modern elements from other Japanese street fashions, Gothic fashion, punk and Japan’s kawaii (cute) movement.
It should not be confused with the book "Lolita", as there is no connection between the two.
